c/w = "coupled with"

^thank you.

Maybe a mod should sticky this thread.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. It might help clear up some confusion for others..

I guessed that "c/w" meant "coupled with" ^^;;

educational stuff, gj, keep up the good work.

Thank you for explaining. :yes

As for as I know in Western music industry, b-sides refer to songs that appear in the single that is not the single title track. They have chances to appear in the album.

But the thing is, it's Japanese music industry. fairyland c/w alterna is just the the way how they call the single. Moreover after seeing song titles like Greatful days and STEP you, I don't really care now. :P As long as the song is good. :D

thanks for info... have been wondering about this for a long time

So do I.
